Mike Frazier was shocked when his wife told him she'd been a victim of sex trafficking. With God's help he found 3 tips to help his and others marriages.

Dr. Mike's Story

In this podcast Dr. Mike shares his story of coming to know God better when he felt so overwhelmed and broken. He shares:

• How God helps us with mercy when times get too hard for us to proceed alone.
• How God puts other people in our lives to help and support us.
• How hard things can help us build our strength, faith and compassion.
• How we take turns giving and receiving service, and that is okay.

Tips Shared For Building A Happy Marriage

Dr. Mike also talks about several things he has learned about marriage:

• He busts the "happy wife, happy life" myth
• He talks about the proper role of intimacy in marriage
• How important it is for you to realize that you have value as a person, and that you are as valuable as your spouse and worth choosing as a partner.
• What to do if you want to change but your spouse doesn't.

The 3 Principles Of A Strong Marriage

1. Get strong. This means to get strong spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and sexually.
2. Get attractive. This means developing interpersonal skills, learning to communicate, and turn conflict into connection.
3. Get an incredibly intimate marriage. This means learning to know each other at a deeper level.

One of my favorite quotes by Dr. Mike is this, "Marriage is a place where we practice the second great commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves."
